This is the second time in as many months that the Republican Congressional members committed a treasonous act. No "border" to it. They interfered in an area that the Constitution clearly relegates to the executive branch. Not only that, but in the case of Iran, they attempted to negotiate with a foreign power behind the President's back. Nuclear decisions belong to the President....only he can unlock the nuclear black box....or is it red(?). Foreign relations belongs to the President. A Harry Truman would have subpeonaed every last signatory to the Iran letter and charged them with treason if not sedition. Outrageous!

No. Obama already looks like a fool to international community. The GOP's letter looks like what it was---an attention getting stunt. America's credibility is pretty much shot anyway.
